What's the 11th annyversary badge ?

All is in the question :D
I have this badge on my profil, some other don't have it while they joined the forum the same year as well (even sometimes before). So, i wondered what is this badge for ? Especially since the 11th anniversary for a 2013 registration on the forum...it's still crazy!

The forum gods decided to give us the "11th anniversary" badge to commemorate what would have been CoH's 11th anniversary if it had still been active back in May 2015. Like the anniversary badges worked in the game I think you had to log into this forum sometime during the month of May 2015 to get it. Don't really know why they did it other than because they could I guess.

And I actually don't know what the "egg" badge is for. I always just assumed it was some kind of Dev "inside joke" because only a very few people seem to have it.

I think the egg badge is an 'Easter egg hunter' badge. Doc Tyche gave me one when I noticed something they had put up on this site before they had announced it was there. Funnily enough, I can't remember what it was that I had found now.

Yeah I suppose that makes sense. Are there actually any other people besides you that have it? If there are there certainly aren't many besides you.

That one there under Cinnder's avatar is the only one I've noticed. But I will be watching for it, oh yes...

Just as long as you guys never create the often rumored, always controversial "I paid real money for this badge" badge that Positron joked about back when CoH was around.

Apparently there was a continuing, constant fear that the CoH Devs would start offering badges for sale in that game which (to be semi-serious for a moment) would be kind of sucky for CoT to ever do for real.

If the players don't mind I'd do it. As long as they can use in-game currency for it - meaning everyone can buy it with game play.

Yeah well the way Positron talked about it in CoH this badge was always something he threatened you'd have to pay "real world" money for in the in-game store. That's why people always talked about it like it was some kind of "pay-to-win" bogeyman that people hated. Basically Posi sort of considered it a "joke" to tease people. ;)

But I suppose if you wanted to make a "meta-joke" version of it for CoT (that maybe cost some trivial amount of IGC or some-such) that would be fine with me. ;)
